600 Whitney Avenue

New Haven, CT 06511

Stately 1905 mansion, originally built for Elihu A. Beckley as a wedding gift for his wife, seamlessly blends historic grandeur with thoughtful updates. Converted in 1953 into a four-unit residence, it offers a remarkable owner's unit while preserving nearly all original architectural details, including soaring 10-foot ceilings, rich woodwork, corner built-ins, restored brass light fixtures, striking fireplaces, exposed beams, paneled walls, and exquisite stained glass windows. The owner's unit showcases a grand entry foyer, an elegant living room with fireplace, a spacious primary bedroom with fireplace, and a second bedroom with custom built-ins and en-suite bath. A distinctive mid-century kitchen features a circular dining area encircled by windows, creating a bright and inviting space. Additional units offer flexibility and income potential. The 2nd floor apartment includes a generous 1-bedroom layout with a large living room, updated kitchen, and a bath retaining much of its original tilework. Another unit, currently used as a 2-room owner's office, features equally sized living & bedroom spaces, both with fireplaces (this unit has custom sound proofing in the walls, floors and ceilings); there is a kitchenette hidden behind custom built-ins. The 3rd floor encompasses a full-floor 6-room apartment, currently configured as a 2-bedroom but easily adaptable to 3 bedrooms.
